Abstract

The elaborate bronze railing surrounding the tomb of Cardinal Cisneros is a well-known and relatively well-documented work. Commissioned from Nicolás de Vergara “el viejo” (the elder) by the University of Alcalá in 1566, it was completed and installed in the Saint Ildefonso College Chapel by his son Nicolás de Vergara “el mozo” (the younger) in 1591. Nevertheless, until now, information was lacking for the correct interpretation of this work. New documents along with the preparatory drawings presented in this article provide a fresh vision of the creation of the railing and the changes it underwent during this long process.
